quote [ In 2018, playing video games obsessively might lead to a diagnosis of a mental health disorder.
In the beta draft of its forthcoming 11th International Classification of Diseases, the World Health Organization includes "gaming disorder" in its list of mental health conditions. The WHO defines the disorder as a "persistent or recurrent" behavior pattern of "sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning." The disorder is characterized by "impaired control" with increasing priority given to gaming and "escalation," despite "negative consequences." ] I can see the abuse of this now. How would one define professional video game player vs mental disorder? Are they the same?

I met my wife in EQ... we both quit cold turkey when she moved in. I already got the best loot, whats the point of playing after that? (plus we started a D&D group, so it was really pointless)
